Need help with phpThumbOf (NivoGallery)

So I'm trying to finish working on my next release for NivoGallery and I hit a wall with phpThumbOf.

In order to fix one of the bugs NivoGallery is having with Firefox, Chrome and Safari I need to get the images loading absolute, I have managed to get the absolute images working but they do not resize, they maintain their original width and height.

So I need to figure out why this code doesn't work in order to fix this if not I will have to remove the resizing options in NivoGallery, something I don't want to do.



Thanks in advance for you help.

syntax is correct.
does the phpthumbof do anything?

The image display fine problem is it's not resizing to the width or height I specify.

It works if I use:



But then the flickering bug rears it's head in again, I need to be able to use absolute paths to the images otherwise I can't fix this annoying bug.

Thanks for checking.

How does your "image_absolute" path look like? Do you start at the system root (the unix "/") or is it the webserver's root?

Guys,

The problem is not displaying the absolute image that works fine, the problem is it's not resizing based on the phpthumbof options specified.

Thanks.

Nonetheless, I would like to know exactly what the difference between the placeholders and is. There must be something about the difference between these placeholders that is preventing phpthumbof from working properly. It is possible that the format of the absolute URL is such that the browser can display it, but phpthumbof can't open the file to resize it.

Also, what is the output of ? You say it displays, but what exactly is it displaying -- is it the orignial image file, or is it an image in the phpthumbof cache that's just not sized properly?

The placeholder



Displays the original image uploaded to MODx and



Uses a phpthumbof generated image as the source.

I need to get phpthumbof using the absolute image as the source.

I also tried



But that doesn't seem to fix the flicker glitch.

I might just have to remove the re-sizing of the gallery images and the user will have to make sure the images they upload are all the same size.

It seems like this is the only way to fix NivoGallery at the moment.

Sorry, Ben, but why don't you give us a concrete example of what you are doing or trying to do? WHAT EXACTLY is the content of and ? Then we can start testing and reproduce the bug. After that the solution might come up.

I was using that code as a rowTpl for my gallery call.

After playing around with it last night and with the help of Mark Hamstra we got it working, the code was correct for some odd reason it wasn't working on my local dev server but it worked on my live server.

So I packaged it up and installed it on the local dev server and it works now on both kind of weird but it's working thanks for your help in trying to solve the issue guys.

Ok I take it back it works fine in revo 2.1.1 but not in revo 2.1.2 gonna test in 2.1.3 now and see how that fares.
